My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Unknown Insect (PIC) on Tomato Stems

12 years ago

See attached pic.

It's an insect and groups of them on the stems of my tomato plants. There are hundreds.

So what is it and do I need to try and get rid of them?

It's the desert here so not too many common garden bugs. I have no clue what these are.

Any advice appreciated.
